since alot of you are into Robot Combat, and have competed, this is a thread to post about the craziest fights, build experiments, ect. involving your robot combat carrier. and any other stories.
-
my first robot wars fight i saw was shogun vs killertron, heck i was like 2!
and now i keep dreaming it
-
When I built a iole (how ever you spell that) can bot I't litterly flew every where.
-
Crazyiest fight I saw was between Flatline and Deranged at the NERC 09 Franklin Instituite event. Flatline hit the arena roof.

-
Most likely between The Swarm VS Final Destiny (was there) or Blendo VS The Monster (or whatever bot that got raped)
-
mine was actually a boxbots fight against one of my neighbors, detals later
-
The Swarm VS Final Destiny (was there)
god your lucky :P
I have looked for that fight all over the internet and cant find it... only the write up on Nightmares site
-
It was louder than you think XD^^^^
-
Robogames 2009: VD6 vs. Last Rites
-
you guys don't understand the pourpose of this thread :/
-
Wha??
-
Ok, so seeing one of the robots from the swarm get hit hard and bounce off three of the lexan walls isn't crazy enough?
-
this is a thread to post about the craziest fights, build experiments, ect. involving your robot combat carrier. and any other stories.
I would say we are all on topic here
-
I'd say my run at BBots was somewhat crazy
Match 1:
Vs. Death Fe
Won via KO(iirc)
Match 2:
Vs. E-6
Won via Judges Decision
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seFEtjcJ9Rc
Match 3:
Vs. eXecutor
Loss via countout(stuck on piece of myself)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9-jkRqLX1E
Match 4:
Vs. X-Revolution
Won via judges decision
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkB1Wob07tI
Right side wheel split in half, left side failed. Likely due to damage from match 3
Match 5:
Vs. Bob 2
Won via judges decision
Fought match with only right side drive, won via control and aggression.
Match 6:
Vs. Senioritis
Won via tapout/ko(don't recall)
Still 1wd, slammed into opponent until they fell apart.
Match 7:
Loss via OOTA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsjR0OVNg1A
I haven't found video for the matches without youtube links.
-
Fought match with only right side drive, won via control and aggression.
that has to be the greatest accomplishment ever :P
-
Why don't you switch to FBS.py if your bot loses one wheel ?
EDIT: Oh wait it's your wedge
-
Why don't you switch to FBS.py if your bot loses one wheel ?
that was such a win yet expected at the same time :P
-
Hmm,I found one.

Here is the fight I said I would post that was a boxbots fight against my friend. First of all, back in early '07 january, that was when boxbots got popular and caught on. It was like the begining of RA2s comunity, we tried to make our bots lifelike, and we had NO Idea what we were doing. The fight I will never forget was with my bot, Techno destruction, a rammer/lifter, and my nabor, jonathins rammer Western wrath. WR was powerfull anough o ram an oponent and launch him ten feet in the air. Anyway while we were fighting our strings got tangled, witch we referd to as getting hog tied. So what happened, was he got tangled and we were trying to get unstuck, when we did, amediatley right when the strings came untied TD whent FLYING atleast ten feet in the air, and when I was looking around for him he came down on my head and it actually hurt.
the end
-
Meh.
-
Mine is better, let's get into detail.
Battlebots 2005 SHW Batlle: Final Destiny VS The Swarm
The Swarm: Cheap ass three part multibot
Final Destiny: From My hometown (Before Camillus, NY and L.A.) you knew I had to be cheerin them on. Big Hexagon wit a fast HS bar.
About half way into the fight, Final Destiny was still winning and one of the drivers from the swarm (Felk) charged and was smacked by the high velocity bar. The hit was so hard the tiny middleweight flew and bounced off 3 of the lexan wall (one right in front of me). The crowd was silent for a moment as Felk's part of the team was counted out and then a gigantic cheer for Final Destiny. I'd never saw a sight like that before in my life!
-
didnt another part get thrown into 2 walls too ? 50% needed to be counted out
also I dont think it was cheap ass.. a group of builders getting together to make something different
-
Yes the one with the disk did too.
-
MEH I can still say I competed in a robot combat tournament and got injured
-
i tournament againts your freind with boxes attached to string?
-
3 people, 14 bots. We were 9, that's all we could afford.
-
boxbots?
-
yep
every year was a season, and at the end was I.B.C.
International Boxbots Chaimpionship. His bot, Western Wrath won
-
That is not a robot combat tournament.
-
captain obvious
flys at the speed of jackass
and ruins childhoods
-
I will not start another derogatory argument between us. I will not post about this particular topic (Boxbot 'tournaments') again, no matter what you say.
-
G.K.,I believe him and guess what?Theres a list of people i respect.Higher you are,The more respected you are by me.
And sparkey is rushing for number one.You are going DOWNHILL.
-
What, that a boxbot tournament is a real robot combat tournament?
-
Look,A TOURNAMENT IS A TOURNAMENT.A tag tournament,IS A TAG TOURNAMENT.Hell,A BOXBOTS TOURNAMENT IS A BOXBOT TOURNAMENT.
-
you said it yourself. A boxbot tournament, not a robot Combat tournament.
-
What, that a boxbot tournament is a real robot combat tournament?
To answer the question it is no. I had this arguement in his robotics team thread so don't start this again G.K. and Av.
Sparkey please stop putting boxbot stuff in robot combat threads. It just isnt the same.
Sparkey should call them Combox tournaments.
-
nicely put.
-
Well,The boxbot match was crazy.So,IT GOS HERE.And G.K.,You just lost ALL of my respect.
-
See, you've ignored Shishka. This is not robot combat so even if it is crazy, it doesn't go here. But I don't want a flame war so I will say nothing else.
-
Well,Boxbots is robot combat.Just its not electric.So yeah,sparkey CAN put it in here.Besides,HE MADE THE DAMN THREAD.
-
Robot Combat is electric, as rules say. Now, I really wantedto stop posting, but it seems your inbox is full, so, here's my PM to you: 'I would really like a valid answer[I have spoken to him on hamachi, asking him. He has just told me to F*** offf]. I have apparently lost your respect because an 11 year old thinks his boxes are real robots.'

Boxbots are not Battlebots
-
technically NOT robots, but modern ones are mechanical, so machines. Come on, we're just kids bein kids.
-
And I am a pedant justifying my title.
-
Just let him do it...*refrains from swearing*
-
We were never stopping him. We (Or at least I) just want to clarify his classification.
-
I had this arguement in his robotics team thread so don't start this again G.K. and Av.
Please stop derailing this.
-
Back on topic
"Boxbots" are perfectly fine as a means of amusing yourself
they however dont fit within the combat robot catagory, please start another topic for discussing your "Boxbots"
-
Well,They make them fight each other,Sparky,Do it if you want.
-
@Av A robot is a robot, a "box bot" is a "box bot", get it?
On topic: I agree with JoeBlo, it is SLIGHTLY in topic, but just not the same. Please start a tread for your "box bots"
-
Back on topic...
I was at Mechwars 3 in Minnesota several years ago. Son of Whyachi was there, the original shuffler version that actually worked. It fought some flail VS (don't remember what it was called, something innocent like Snuggles or Sugarpie, but it was the prequel to another flail VS called Thresher). SoW was dominating until one of its hammers broke off and flew right through the arena wall, punching a giant hole in the lexan. It was a miracle that nobody got hurt; that hammer could have easily killed somebody. Somebody like me :eek:
Needless to say, SoW fought with its weapon at low speed for the rest of the tournament, and not just because it was unbalanced.
-
Wow! And I thought a entire robot getting flung into 3 of the walls was scary, but a hammer going at a lethal velocity AFTER it penetrated a lexan wall! Your's takes the cake.
-
a hammer going at a Team Whyachi velocity AFTER it penetrated a lexan wall!.
Team Whyachi > Lethal :P
but yes that takes the cake for sure
